Making pizza snappy,’ easy

MT. PLEASANT — Customers at Snappy’s Pizza might see new faces behind the counter and some menu changes at the local eatery, but one thing remains the same — its customer service.

MT. PLEASANT — Customers at Snappy’s Pizza might see new faces behind the counter and some menu changes at the local eatery, but one thing remains the same — its customer service.

Snappy’s Pizza, 1137 N. Main St., owner Brian Parrish said many locals did not realize the restaurant has changed hands. He took over ownership in late May.

"It’s the same restaurant, just with a couple of twists and a couple of new things," Parrish said. "We would like to have people become regulars and get to know people by name."

Snappy’s was owned by Holly and Tim Jones, Parrish said. Holly Jones wanted to pursue other interests and put the business up for sale. Parrish spoke with the former owners and struck a deal to purchase the business, he said.

The transition did have a few minor hiccups, including having to take time off for his son’s birth but everything fell into place after that, he said.

"Once we nailed it down, we took over rather quickly," Parrish said.

While he has limited experience in the restaurant business, Parrish said his employees are well-versed in the service industry. Tracy Wert, Snappy’s general manager, has been with the business for the past nine years, and his longtime girlfriend — Jennifer Collins — has worked in the food industry and has management experience.

Collins and Wert know much of the clientele and often have their drinks and meal ready before they sit down, Parrish said.

Snappy’s offers pizza, pastas, subs, wraps, burgers, chicken wings and a variety of other items. Parrish said his favorite items are the wraps, a section which has a new addition called the "cool wrap" consisting of ham, cheese, salsa and creme cheese — a combination that goes well with a hot day, Parrish said.

Snappy’s also has delivery service.

Although the menu has been altered, one change that should please everyone is a drop in menu prices, Parrish said.

"Pizza is our No. 1 thing, but everything else, we came in here and tried to upgrade everything that we had," he said.
